Shadow characters are kind of a fun addition but really they're just situationally slightly better/worse versions of the same characters most of the time. The game stands up enough on its own though; the characters are unique and fun and the music is good too. I wish the attacks had a little more oomph though.
This game takes what the previous version did and adds so much more. In addition to the arcade styled story modes, there's an entire traditional story mode that's genuinely super interesting. Sho Minazuki is another great character who retroactively makes Ikutsuki from P3 a better character, even though he's still pretty unremarkable at the end of the day. The cast of playable characters is about as deep as it could be for the source materials.
Je trouve le cast pas super bien équilibré pour les combats, et c'est dommage qu'il n'y ait plus beaucoup de gens qui y jouent en ligne, mais c'est très sympa de pouvoir retrouver autant de personnages de P3 et P4 dans un jeu multi. Il y a pas mal de musiques cool et j'adore la grande diversité d'animations qu'ont les sprites au combat.
Le mode histoire est super long et répétitif, pas toujours pertinent, mais il apporte des interactions marrantes entre quelques personnages. J'ai beaucoup aimé l'épisode Adachi qui pour le coup apporte une perspective super intéressante au perso et sa façon de penser après les événements de P4 (puis il est très fun à jouer)

I'm honestly really shocked with how good a fighting game based on a series with turn based combat is. They manage to incorporate elements of typical Persona gameplay like SP and element attacks like Ziodyne in such a smooth way that blends seamlessly with the fighting. The story was also entertaining but suffered a bit from the way it presents itself, especially in the P4A campaign. Events usually get repeated a lot with only miniscule differences in between each character's story which makes it very confusing as to what's actually canon and what isn't. This was fixed in the Ultimax campaign though by just having a semi-straight path you progress through instead of individual character stories. Other than that, the campaigns were cool and it was fun seeing the P3 and P4 cast interact with each other. Makes me excited to see them talk with each other more when I play Persona Q. But now I can finally move on to the game I've been most excited to play next... Persona 5 Royal.
